This is a powerful meditation technique to experience gratitude as a prayer:

Sahasrara Dhyana (Gratitude as Prayer) Heals the chakra (energy center): Sahasrara ('thousand petalled') Location of chakra: On the crown of the head Chakra locked by: Discontentment Chakra unlocked by: Gratitude & Bliss Duration: 30 minutes

Sahasrara Dhyana is the simplest possible meditation technique! It involves the effortless process of paying our gratitude to Existence for everything we have in life, and which we have taken for granted till now. Although the meditation is deceptively simple, it has profound effects on our conscious and subconscious minds.

When we recognize that we are part of the total scheme of Existence, and that we are lovingly being taken care of by Existence every minute, we are overcome with gratitude.

We become truly thankful for what we receive every moment, even if it is as basic as the use of our very limbs and senses.

Gratitude is your response to recognizing the abundance of Existence. It is a wonderful flowering energy within you.

Everyday, just sit by yourself for half an hour. Close your eyes and allow any thought, person or situation to come to your mind. If it is a positive thought, a person you love or a situation that you cherish, feel deep gratitude for it and see it go away. If it is a negative thought, or a person you don't like, or an unpleasant situation, feel gratitude for that too and bless it. Anything that comes to your mind, bless it with deep gratitude.

You will see that in a few days, your whole attitude becomes soft and compassionate. You will start seeing things with great compassion and receptivity.

Gratitude is the Ultimate Prayer. Gratitude is the Greatest Attitude.

Gratitude is the Greatest Attitude that you can have towards God, towards human beings, towards life, towards people, and towards situations.
